One of my best dating memories started out (earlier in the day) to be a nightmare.

I had a date with the guy who would eventually be my first husband. I had cramps that day and Mom thought she had some meds that could help. She had a new prescription for pain pills, and she gave me two to try. I thought I was having a stroke! My face and hands began to swell and felt real stiff. Then the redness set in all over my body. I called for Mom to help and then I began to pass out and lose control of some bodily functions (if ya know what I mean). It was a BAD allergic reaction and there is a lesson here...but I'm sure you don't need me to preach it.

Later that evening, I was still a bit swollen and red and didn't think I could keep the date...but Mom insisted (she loved my first hubby). I put on foundation make-up (I don't ever wear it) to hide the remaining swelling and redness and met my ex at the door in a darkened hallway. I told him what happened and he said that instead of going to a lighted restaurant (as he knew how uncomfortable I was) we could go to a movie and Mickey D's drive-thru instead. It was one of the most romantic gestures ever made towards me because it was made to ease my tension.

I have more great memories...but no time this morning! BBL peeps!

Great thread fzzy!
